Abstract:
Purpose of the study. The article discusses the gaps that arose in 2018 in the regulation of the procedure for initiating and considering a criminal case of private prosecution under Art. 116.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the related inconsistency of judicial practice. Conclusions. The authors propose to include in Part 2 of Art. 20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, the norm that a criminal case on a crime under Art. 116.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, is initiated and considered by the district court in the manner prescribed by Ch. 41 Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. Prior to the introduction of these changes, the only legal option for initiating a criminal case under Art. 116.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is the filing of an application with the territorial internal affairs bodies with reference to Part 4 of Art. 20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation (the inability to protect one's rights and legitimate interests by filing an application in a private prosecution case with the district court, to whose jurisdiction this case is referred to article 31 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation). In order to substantiate the legitimacy of such a procedure for initiating a criminal case, the victim or his legal representative has the right to refer to the practice set out in the article of refusal of district courts to accept applications in a private prosecution case under Art. 116.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in connection with the gaps in the current criminal procedure legislation.
